Things I want to do when I'm done with the bar

Taking a study break to talk about everything I want to do when I'm done with the bar exam, which is next Wednesday! I have kept a running list next to me as I study because whenever my mind wanders and dreams about free time, I have to remind myself that SOON I can do these things! Here's what I'm looking forward to doing:

- Start more seriously looking for houses
- Deep clean the apartment
- Blog about our wedding and honeymoon
- Blog more generally - I have a lot of post ideas that I can't wait to write!
- Taxes - we are filing jointly for the first time -- any tips?
- Finish planning my sister and I's trip to FL (and her days in DC!)
- Buy some fun clothes for FL
- Start healthy eating and working out more! (Signed up for Classpass again and thinking about trying another Whole30)
- Sit down with Bill to come up with a plan for our money now that we are married. Figure out how we want to do joint saving, bill paying, etc.
- Tie up loose ends with things -mail returns to Amazon, gifts to friends/family, return things to Wayfair (remind me to tell you about our Wayfair saga)
- Brainstorm and delve into some ideas I've been having for some side ways to make money
- Change my Instagram and Twitter handles to my married name - been having trouble coming up with this because I love that mine right now are my actual name, but my new actual name is already taken. Grrr.
- Figure out how to really switch to my new Gmail address
- Plan future weekend trips (NYC to see my brother-in-law, trip with Tara, special fun weekend getaways with Bill)
- Plan our first anniversary trip (!)
- Start swimming regularly with my coworker
- Finally unpack everything from our (second) move
- I had to get a new debit card because of my name change, so I want to update my card number everywhere
- Call Verizon to figure out why our bill is $150 higher than normal
- Organize my backpack and purse
- Read more books! (Including Harry Potter series again)
- Make time to meet up with old friends and make plans with new ones
- Catch up on my tv shows! I am very behind. I need to catch up on This is Us, Scandal, Quantico, Walking Dead, UnReal, Designated Survivor, Dance Moms, Ladies of London, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Nashville (I have thoughts on the "new" Nashville), and even though it's a movie, not a show, I can't wait to watch Britney on Lifetime.

As you can see, some of the things I'm "dreaming" of doing are fun and some are just to-dos that I need to get crossed off of the list, but one thing I know for sure is that I can't wait until I can do whatever I want when I get home from work and on the weekends!

Well, back to Torts! I most likely won't be back until after Wednesday. See you then! I hope everyone enjoys their weekend, especially if you get Monday off!
